Damn, this old man walks very smartly. Lin Wanrong looked at his back and thought in his heart, and then looked intently at the Misty Rain Picture, where the pen and ink were still wet, but there were four small characters of "Shanyin Xuwei".
He did know about Shanyin, which was later known as Shaoxing, but who was this Xu Wei? Not only is he good at drawing, but he is also a top-notch master at pairing. Lin Wanrong felt a little regretful, he could have received two sets of "West Lake Misty Rain Picture", but this old man really has some skills, and he actually matched the pair, it's a pity that he got a pair of "Misty Rain Picture".
Lin Wanrong didn't feel anything when he saw the word Shanyin Xuwei, but the officials next to him exclaimed: "Shanyin Xuwei? He is Mr. Wenchang, Master Xu, a scholar of the Wenhua Palace."
The eldest lady came over hurriedly, looked at the small letters with the embellishments, and said happily: "It's really Mr. Xu Daren Wenchang?"
Lin Wanrong was confused, and asked: "Miss, what are you talking about, Mr. Xu, Mr. Wen Chang, who is it?"
The eldest lady rolled his eyes at him and said: "You just rebelled against people reciting poems, and thought you were really talented, but I didn't expect that you didn't even know Mr. Wen Chang. This mountain is Yin Xu Wei, and the character Wen Chang—"
"Xu Wenchang?" Lin Wanrong jumped up excitedly. Day, this name is too familiar. When I was a child, I watched cartoons, and there was "Smart Xu Wenchang" and "Wen Chang Fighting Yan Song". Isn't it about this great talent
After being excited for a while, Lin Wanrong calmed down. This is a completely different world. History has changed completely since the Chu and Han Dynasties. There is no such thing as Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing, and there is no traitor like Yan Song. He has been depressed and frustrated all his life, and has never been a high-ranking official at all, but the Xu Wenchang who appeared in front of him is a scholar of the Wenhua Palace in the Dahua Dynasty. The official residence is the best.
Therefore, these are two completely different people, and the only thing they have in common is that they are both named Xu Wei. They all have unparalleled talents. Although the long river of history flows in a different direction, occasionally there will be two equally gorgeous waves, and Xu Wei is one of them.
"Do you know Mr. Xu?" Hearing Lin Wanrong's tone, the eldest lady hesitated and asked.
"Miss is making fun of me again. How can I know such a big man?" Lin Wanrong laughed, and the author of this article is not the author of another article. But he is also an absolute celebrity in his heart, and Lin Wanrong has an absolute fondness for him just by saying the word Xu Wenchang.
The young lady thinks about it too, the two of them just talked about poetry and Taoism for a long time, but they didn't seem to know each other. Then he continued: "Mr. Wen Chang is the most talented and learned person in the world. In the past, before the emperor ascended the throne, he was the number one counselor in the mansion, and now he is the chief scholar of the Wenhua Palace. He is also the secretary of the household department Chong. His calligraphy and paintings have never been signed, so the folks can only judge the authenticity from his handwriting and painting style. Now this "West Lake Misty Rain Picture" has his seal left for the first time. It is the only one in the world. It is rare to ask for a daughter, but I did not expect you to have such luck to meet this noble person."
This "West Lake Misty Rain Picture" is the only scroll that Xu Wei signed? Depend on. Isn't that worth the money? Lin Wanrong laughed heartily, and suddenly thought that Xu Wei is in charge of the household department, isn't that just in charge of money and food? No wonder he has such insight into business.
He thought for a while, then suddenly said: "Miss, since Mr. Xu is in charge of the household department, he should be in Beijing, but why did he appear by the West Lake? How could he come to paint the West Lake in such a leisurely manner?" What about Misty Rain?"
The eldest lady is also a smart person, and she was shocked when she heard the words: "Lin San, what do you mean, this Master Xu is here to attend the annual meeting of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce?"
Lin Wanrong nodded and said: "Miss, you have also said that Jiangsu and Zhejiang are the top merchants in the country, and their status is unparalleled. Every year, there will be big figures in the capital of Beijing, and this year will be no exception. Now, Mr. Xu is such a coincidence Besides, it’s hard for me to imagine what else I can do to help him by the West Lake.”
The eldest lady said happily: "If it's true, Lin San, with Master Xu's appreciation for you, our Xiao family will definitely be able to suffer less criticism."
Lin Wanrong said: "Miss, don't be too happy, it's all our speculation now, we still don't know why Master Xu came to Hangzhou."
The eldest lady said firmly: "It should be right this time, he must have come for the business associations of the two places. It is really a great thing for you to make friends with him."
"Good friends?" Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "My eldest lady, I just talked to him a few words, it's just a match, how can we talk about good friends. He heard that I wanted to sell his paintings, didn't I was so angry that I blew my beard and stared, I already recited Amitabha Buddha."
"No." The young miss said with a smile: "You don't understand Mr. Xu's character. He is usually very strict with others, and he won't easily praise others. Today, if he praises you so much, it is to add favor to you." Now, at this annual meeting, he will definitely not embarrass us. Now, let me see if you still sell that picture scroll?"
"Sell, of course." Lin Wanrong said: "The better the picture scroll is given to me, the less valuable it will be. Instead of ruining a good thing, it is better to sell it to those who know how to do it. Only in this way can the maximum value be maximized." The eldest lady nodded Head, Lin San's words do have some truth.
Unexpectedly, I didn't expect that a trip to the West Lake would attract the great god Xu Wei, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and even confusedly took his painting from his partner. "It's not necessarily a bad thing to go out and shop more, look, we'll make money today."
The eldest lady smiled and glanced at him and said: "You are right today, I will pay more for the incense in the temple today."
"You gave the money for the incense burner to the Bodhisattva?" Lin Wanrong said in surprise, "Then you might as well give it to me, I am a living Bodhisattva."
The eldest lady ran forward on tiptoe, then suddenly turned her head and said, "You're almost alive." After speaking, she covered her little mouth and smiled.
Although Su Di was long, the two of them chatted, laughed and fought, but they walked away very quickly. When it was almost at the end, the eldest lady remembered something, turned her head and said: "Lin San, you and Mr. Xu have not met that pair yet. Tell me clearly."
Lin Wanrong wondered: "Missy is such a smart person, how can she still not understand?"
The eldest lady snorted: "I don't know where you copied these words, they are very uncommon. How can I know them all."
Lin Wanrong let out a long cry, the eldest lady blushed and said urgently, "Tell me quickly."
Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "This pair, to put it bluntly, is worthless. The first couplet is: the tide of the sea. The tide rises, and the tide falls. The second couplet: the floating clouds rise, grow and rise, grow and fade."
The eldest lady thought for a while. Sighed: "Mr. Wenchang, the best talent in the world. It really lives up to the name."
"Hey, miss, can you praise me too?" Lin Wanrong said dissatisfiedly: "Not only did I match the pair of the best bachelor in the world, but I also made a pair that made it difficult for him, so that he almost couldn't answer. Come up. This number one scholar is also full of praise for me. Since you named Mr. Xu number one in the world and number two in the world that day, can you just give me the title?"
"Oh?" The eldest lady wondered: "So you just want to be number two in the world? I'm going to make you and Mr. Wen Chang the number one in the world, heck." After she finished speaking, she pulled her long skirt with her hands. Giggling and running forward.
My day, this chick teased me, Lin Wanrong looked at the young lady's back full of youthful vigor, and suddenly felt that the young lady seemed to be slowly changing. If she used to look like a 30-year-old bitter woman, now she looks more like a teenage girl.
It's autumn and winter, but only a few of the ten scenic spots of West Lake can be seen, Pinghu Qiuyue. The remnant snow on the broken bridge is now invisible, and the evening clock in Nanping is not yet there, so the only place left is Lingyin Temple.
The origin of Lingyin Temple is said to be that monks from other regions came to Hangzhou in the past. Seeing the beautiful peaks here, they thought it was "the hidden place of fairy spirits", so they built a temple here and named it "Lingyin".
Lingyin Temple has nine floors, eighteen pavilions, and seventy-two halls, with more than 3,000 monks and disciples. In the previous dynasty, there were many temples in the south of the Yangtze River, and the magnificent Lingyin Temple was listed as the first of the five Buddhist temples, and it became famous all over the world.
When the eldest lady brought a few people to Lingyin Temple, it was the time when the incense was burning, and the pilgrims came and went, dizzying.
Lin Wanrong glanced at this world-famous ancient temple. This Lingyin Temple really has the meaning of "hidden".
On the Feilai Peak in front of the temple, on the cliffs of Qinglin Cave, ** Cave and along the stream, there are more than hundreds of stone statues from all dynasties. The most majestic one is Maitreya Buddha, who is smiling and bare-chested.
Although the eldest lady has come to Hangzhou many times, this is the first time she has visited Lingyin Temple. Seeing the magnificent scale of the temple and the flourishing incense, she is also yearning for it. She sighed: "The first temple in the south of the Yangtze River really lives up to its reputation."
Lin Wanrong was never very enthusiastic about burning incense and worshiping Buddha, but seeing the young lady's interest, she said, "Since that's the case, let's go in quickly, give some incense money, and ask for some good lottery sticks."
The eldest lady understood the meaning in his words, and said, "Aren't you going to follow us in?"
Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "I'll go around the Lingyin Temple first, and I'll go in to find you later." The eldest lady nodded, and led the three of them into the temple without saying a word.
Lin Wanrong wandered around outside the temple, idle and bored, peeking at some female almsgiver offering incense, but it was not interesting, and was about to enter the temple, but saw a person standing in a quiet bamboo forest in the distance, the person slowly Slowly chanted: "The osmanthus falls in the middle of the moon, and the sky is fragrant and the clouds are floating outside.
It's far away from the Luodeng Tower, and the wood is far away from the spring.
The frost is thin and the flowers are more hairy, and the ice light leaves are not withered.
The old age is still different, so search for the troubles.
After entering Tiantai Road, look at Yudu Stone Bridge. "
Damn, it's really annoying. It's a fashion for people these days to come out and recite a few lines of poetry when they see Jing Sheng.
The bamboo forest was silent, and there were more than a dozen big men standing around, looking around vigilantly. The poet recited the poem, but he was very contented. He was wearing a satin yellow robe, and he was slowly stomping in the forest, looking very leisurely.
Going out with so many bodyguards must be either rich or expensive, Lin Wanrong thought, and was about to turn back when the man called out: "This little brother, can you come forward and tell me?"
